Help! Fungus or bacteria growth harmful?
Hello, I set up a 10 gallon tank with two baby spotted puffer fish and a pleco about a week and a half ago. I put 3 ghost shrimp in the tank because on one site it said that the puffers would eat them. I've been giving the puffers a block of frozen brine shrimp every other day. (yes i know i'm probably over feeding them... it will stop). I have a new filter. I noticed the other day that the water looked cloudy and then I woke up yesterday and there was a slimey bubbly growth attached to my filter. It's a whitish color and looks kind of like intestines? it's about an inch long and wide. I went to work today and came back home to find another growth on the rocks in the bottom of tank. This one almost looks like mushrooms but it still has the slimey off white/cream color. I dont want to touch them because i'm afraid that it will cause more harm but i dont want my fish to get sick either. any suggestions?
